Jordana Matte 5th Avenue

This lipstick is literally $1.99USD. Packaging aside (it’s rather cheap looking), this lipstick is, in many respects, on par with Mac – for a fraction of the price! ‘5th Ave’ is a great nude colour for medium to darker FleshTones – and there is no real pink or plum undertone here – this color is a beautiful nude brown. This lipstick has a semi-matte finish, great pigmentation and a vanilla-scented smell (which does to be honest smell a little bit cheap). If you have dry lips, wear a lip balm underneath too. There is no real risk with this lipstick given its bargain basement price, so for the budget conscious among us, this lipstick is pick of the bunch. It’s not going to stay on all day like the newer liquid matte lipsticks on the market, but as a traditional lipstick offering, this colour and price is hard to beat.
